xfs: xfs_mru_cache_insert() should use GFP_NOFS
xfs_mru_cache_insert() can be called from within transaction context during block allocation like so: write(2) .... xfs_get_blocks xfs_iomap_write_direct start transaction xfs_bmapi_write xfs_bmapi_allocate xfs_bmap_btalloc xfs_bmap_btalloc_filestreams xfs_filestream_new_ag xfs_filestream_pick_ag xfs_mru_cache_insert radix_tree_preload(GFP_KERNEL) In this case, GFP_KERNEL is incorrect and can potentially lead to deadlocks in memory reclaim. It should use GFP_NOFS allocations to avoid lock recursion problems.
